Flush mounted goodness.

Good progress today - Got the 2nd layer of clear on the last of the touch ups on paint, at least, minus the exhaust hangers.  They are anodized black, but it's really not held up too well.  Plus, I'm going to wet sand the can a bit, as there was a mysterious 4 inch gouge on it that was either caused by a street urchin with a pocket knife, or my landlord banging up against it with the lawnmower - Point is, I'll be back in that area, might as well do everything there that needs to be done.

Speaking of things that need to be done - Finally got the turn signal light relocated into the battery box - It already came with a bezel, so a flush mount was pretty easy.  I just practiced with a few holes on some old tupperware lids I had until I knew what size I wanted, then cut out a small circle in blue tape to help with general placement.  In that circle I dotted the center with a perm marker, then drilled right through that mark for a pilot, removed the tape, and held my breath as it cut.

Final outcome, which I think is pretty good.  One thing that makes it a bit worse is that the bezel was damaged by yours truly when I was cutting it off of the old bars - One more lesson about a dremel learned the hard way.  But, for what it is, I think the placement in both height and proximity of the Honda logo is pretty stellar.

In the 3rd pic, you can see that I extended the wires a good foot and half of what they were.  This is to insure that I'll be able to get the battery box way clear of the internals without having to disconnect the wiring to the switch.  Good thing too, it's really really REALLY tight in that battery box - I managed to gather a few things upwards and then lock them in place with both the factory ties, but also my own placed zipties.  This has given me at least 1 inch more clearance on every wire, not to mention given me a change to sort out everything else.  It is neat, tight, orderly, well connected, and ready to go.  Once the braided brake line is put in, I'll be able to lock down pretty much the entire front end.

Until then, I've got a few more things to do.  Hopefully work won't get too much in the way this week  :)

I'll update when I can.
